Don't let your own side get away with bad arguments.
If you see someone with whom you are ideologically aligned making a weak, misinformed or illogical argument...call them out on it. Explain why it is flawed.
It won't weaken "your side", it will only strengthen it by weeding out bad arguments. If you're concerned not with tribalism but rather with what is true then it's good and proper to expose bad arguments no matter the source.

Thank u i actually do this to myself at least daily. My arguments become more undeniable and better cited as i continue to try to prove my own arguments wrong. Good advice. Ty
If there are any magical claims being made, which there are, that greatly weakens a position. Don’t like the attitude of zero evidence assuming taken as matter of fact. That goes for astrology and the related wrongly put in this section. Also want to discuss evolution? Put it in the science section and have it out.
However, positions based on emotion I can understand and have no problems. Be honest.
@Pikachu oh its pretty simple, sit them in the worlds quietest room, tie them up, and have them stare at a wall painted with a special paint that never dries. Then tell them they won't be let free until the paint dries, completely full proof
